OBITUARY

  Once more the community has been called to see the passing from their midst a 
useful man who has proven his worth to all who knew him, in the person of Walter 
R. Horner, son of Orwell and and Justina Horner, who was born in Licking county, 
Ohio, near Hanover, March 1st, 1865.
  He departed this life at his home four miles west of Columbus Grove, Ohio, April 
16th, 1922 aged 57 years, 1 month and 16 days.  He was united in marriage to Miss 
Mary E. Jones, December 24th, 1885 and to this union was born four children, three 
daughters and one son, Gertrude E. Rimer, of Monroe, Michigan, Florence J. Smith, 
of Columbus Grove, and Edith M. Best, at home and Wilbur Wadie, who died in 
infancy.  In March 1893 Mr. Horner, was converted and professed his faith in Jesus 
Christ as his Saviour and united with the Maple Grove Christian church and was 
always a most devoted man to his faith in the Lord.  He leaves to mourn their loss 
a wife, three daughters, five grand-children, two brothers and a host of friends.  
  The funeral was conducted by Rev. G. B. Garner, D. D. of West Cairo, who was an 
intimate friend.  The funeral was held from the home, in the presence of a large 
and sympathizing congregation, after which the remains were laid to rest in the 
cemetery one and a half miles west of Columbus Grove.  The family wishes to 
express their thanks to all the neighbors who so kindly assisted them in their 
sorrow in so many ways and to all that rendered service in this their time of 
need.

MRS. JAMES RIMER DIES

  Mrs. James Rimer of Kalida street passed away last Sunday morning at about 8 
o'clock.  The cause of her death being intestinal troubles form which she had been 
suffering more or less for the past year.  She was aged 75 years being born in 
Union township Putnam County, Ohio.  She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. J. L. 
Davis of Michigan and Mrs. L. E. Miller and one son Emery of Whitehouse, O.  She 
is also survived by five sisters and one brother.  The funeral services were held 
on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. Kohr officiating.


  The best way to forget your troubles is to buy an old automobile.   You then 
will have so many new ones you won't have time to remember your old ones.

Real Achievement

  Mrs. Aimie Semple McPherson, just returned from Australia, will shortly open her 
big new tabernacle in Los Angeles.  It will hold 5000 people.  The cost, $200,000, 
was collected in the cities in which she held revival meetings.  She says that 
more than four thousand people from different parts of the world, even from 
Australia and Canada, will attend the opening ceremonies.  Well-known clergymen 
will conduct the dedicatory services.
  Whether you agree with Mrs. McPherson or not, it is an extraordinary personality 
that can so magically impress all classes of people.  Whether her healings were 
genuine or spurious, her patients were among the largest contributors to her 
temple.  If they are satisfied, why should the outsider cavil?  If they received 
comfort or healing, or both, who should object?  Before condemning the preaching 
of any doctrine as closely akin to primitive Chritianity as Mrs. McPherson's one 
should hesitate.  If one healed two thousand years ago, why should not someone 
heal now?  Far better be silent than satirical, or simply say, "I don't know."  
You probably don't.

LAD DIES OF SCARLET FEVER

  Eugene, fifteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Al Tussing died last Sunday morning 
at his late home on North Pendleton street.  The boy took sick while in shcool 
Thursday noon and on going home exposed himself to the rain.  Dr. Sink was 
immediately summoned who prounounced the case as scarlet fever.  A serum was used 
in the attempt to save the boy's life but was of no avail.  The fever worked with 
overpowering swiftness and on Sunday morning the boy had passed away.  Burial was 
held on Monday morning at Truro cemetery, Rev. Shock officiating at the house and 
at the grave. 
  The family has the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.
